North Korea Organization and Management of the Economy
Since the government is the dominant force in the development
and management of the economy, bureaus and departments have
proliferated at all administrative levels. There are fifteen
committees--such as the agricultural and state planning
committees--one bureau, and twenty departments under the
supervision of the State Administration Council; of these, twelve
committees--one bureau, and sixteen departments are involved in
economic management. In the early 1990s, several vice premiers of
the State Administration Council supervised economic affairs.
Organizations undergo frequent reorganization. Many of these
agencies have their own separate branches at lower levels of
government while others maintain control over subordinate
sections in provincial and county administrative agencies.
